Hello Everyone, 

 Up for sale is a rare factory 1983 Dodge CREW CAB 4x4 short bed with a Cummins motor conversion. 

The truck has been a west coast truck for its entire life so it is rust free! This truck started life back in 1983 with a gas motor. i sought this truck out for it to become what you see today. This has been my pride and joy for the last 10 years. I have spent many hours getting it to this awesome condition.

 I started with a Cummins motor out of 1992 Dodge Ram that had approximately 120,000 miles on it  (Just barley broken in for these awesome motors) I used the motor, core support and inter cooler from the 1992 and I installed a new radiator. Nothing was cut to install this motor in to this truck. 

The motor does have some upgrades including 3200 governor spring, fuel pump turned up, HX35 turbo and a custom air intake. 

The motor was mated with an automatic torque flight 518 with over drive which was rebuilt at time of install. The transmission has a shift kit and a deep pan.  

The Transfer case is a divorced 205 (very desirable t-case)

Axles are Dana 60's front and rear with 4:10 gears

The truck is sitting on 20 inch black alloy wheels wrapped in Good Year Wranglers E rated 275/65/r20

The truck has been recently painted inside and out. It was originally white and red and received a full color change to a bright beautiful red! There was no major body work done on this truck. A few emblems were taken off and the holes welded and filled in but this truck is SOLID under the pretty paint. 

The Interior was in pretty good shape and the seats are original but I did replace the carpet. The front doors have factory power windows and the back is manual just how it came from the factory. 

The weather stripping was replaced around all 4 doors and the window stripping. 

The interior accessories include a Kenwood cd player , Pyrometer and boost gauge! 

The truck is equipped with a goose neck hitch as well as a reciever hitch on the back. Perfect for towing a boat or hotrods. maybe some more Cummins trucks :)


This truck does run and drive really well!! This truck is a rare and is definitely a head turner. You will get at least one person a week asking about it (at least I do) 

It does need some finishing touches to make it 100% perfect. The Ac has a small leak and it has to be recharged. The cruise control will need to be hooked up if you so desire. 


The potential of this truck is almost limitless. The Cummins motor is unstoppable. This truck will get 20 mpg if you are nice to it. 


Additional Info 


This truck is listed locally and I have the right to end the auction at any time, I am open to all offers and will return any emails OCONNELLRB@YAHOO.COM buyer pays all shipping fees and I will help the buyer or transport load the truck up.  If you would like additional pictures i can email them to you. I am not desperate to sell so please no low baller emails.

Amazon opens contest for The Grand Tour tickets in the US

Thu, Jul 7 2016

British enthusiasts already had the opportunity to win tickets to the first taping of The Grand Tour, and now Amazon has opened up a similar chance for customers in the US. In celebration of Prime Day, which starts today, customers in the US can enter The Grand Tour Prime Day Prize Draw. The prize includes travel, $200 to spend, accommodation, and a meet and greet with Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May. Customers that are interested fulfilling a childhood dream should visit Amazon's website and fill out the entry form soon as the draw closes on July 12. The Grand Tour will launch this fall as an exclusive for Amazon Prime members with the exact city locations for studio records set to be revealed later this summer. Amazon, however, did reveal that the trio will host shows in the UK, US, and Germany. So there's no need to get too upset if you don't win the draw. With Top Gear getting a major shakeup with the departure of Chris Evans, we're itching to see Clarkson, Hammond, and May behind the wheel of cars again. The trio, it seems, is also excited to get the new show rolling as Clarkson posted a drifty video on his Facebook page. The trio are currently in Italy filming a comparison between an Aston Martin DB11, a Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, and Rolls-Royce Dawn. The five-second clip has the Challenger Hellcat and DB11 drifting head-on into the camera crew, which is behind the wheel of an Alfa Romeo.

Dodge Challenger returns to Trans Am

Fri, 15 Aug 2014

NASCAR's Nationwide Series may have switched (in appearance anyway) to muscle cars, but American racing fans know that if they want to see real muscle cars on the street circuits, the only place to look is Trans Am. The all-American racing series is packed with Mustangs, Camaros and even Corvettes. The one thing it's been missing is the Dodge Challenger, but now SRT Motorsports has announced it's bringing its muscle car back where it belongs.
Rather than waiting until next year, the Miller Racing team is switching mid-season to the new Dodge Challenger SRT Trans Am racer you see here, just in time for this weekend's race at Mid-Ohio. And not just that - it's lined up a compelling pair of drivers to pilot it, as well.
The No. 11 car will be driven by Trans Am legend Tommy Kendall, a four-time series champion who's been off the grid since 2004. Backing him up in the No. 1 Challenger will be none other than Cameron Lawrence, the driver who has won five out of six races in the Chevy Camaro so far this season, losing out only once to American racing scion Adam Andretti.
